ROYAL GRANDEUR CITY PALACE JAIPUR
When experiencing the famous Golden Triangle (Delhi-Agra-Jaipur) circuit in India, make sure to squeeze out ample time for The City Palace, Jaipur. The Royal Grandeur walk at the palace is your best bet to savor the absolute splendor of history, heritage, and culture that the princely state of Rajasthan has to offer. Arrive at the palatial complex now, and the sweeping palace welcomes you through one of its many grand entrances to a world full of ornate walls, courtyards, lawns, and an array of museums. But not before you struggle your way in through the throngs of tourists from all over the world who love spending hours here basking in the royal heritage and history that the City Palace is known for. Though a regular ticket (starts at INR200 for Indian citizens and INR700 for foreign nationals) can get you into the palace, which has now thrown open some of its spaces to the public, it’s the exclusive Royal Grandeur tour that you should be booking. Why do you ask? Two things – the crowd is comparatively slimmer on this side, and the royal tour gets you into the seven-storeyed Chandra Mahal, the current residence of Jaipur’s royal family.

ALL INFORMATION ABOUT ROYAL GRANDEUR CITY PALACE JAIPUR
Though extremely beautiful, the Ridhi Sidhi Pol was not the only wow factor of the City Palace and the whole complex is a potpourri of beautiful art and architecture. From magnificent chandeliers, intricate jharokhas, gorgeous rose pink walls, and carved traditional overhanging balconies, everything reeks of great aesthetic sense, and the Jaipur royals were indeed patrons of excellence in art. Their taste in art has been as dramatic as their family history and the Royal Grandeur tour provides eye-opening glimpses of the private lives of the dynasty. Conducted by a palace staff, the tour took us to the private quarters and we explored the Chandra Mahal, Sukh Niwas, Chhavi Niwas, Shobha Niwas, Sri Niwas, and Mukut Mandir with great voyeuristic delight.
